What do reviewers say about Musa Paradisiaca and Carnal Flower?
Most tuberose compositions go soft. This one leans green, almost vegetable at the opening, then keeps surprising as the animalic base arrives, ambergris and civet don't ask permission.Musa Paradisiaca
This is not a safe blind buy. The tuberose here is bold, almost aggressive on some skin. But if you want a tuberose that smells like the actual flower in full sun, this earns its reputation.Carnal Flower
